I've been to two locations for Five Guys pizza, err... burgers. Both great. I'd be interested.

As mentioned on post #1, we are in downtown DC May 31/June 1/ June 2 (Wed,Thurs,Fri) and any of those 3 nights would suit perfectly to catch up with the locals - for Pizzas or otherwise, if anyone is about then. :cool:

We would definitely be able to do Fri. June 2.

I know a few May dates have been floated around. Oz is in May end.

But how about we focus on April :D

Any dates for April?


Ok since no one seems to be suggesting either location or date. Here is my suggestion.

Tyson's Corner 5 Guys!

DC Pre-Freddie Bash.


Votes? Pizzaman - does that work according to your schedule?

Well, as for me I fly back BKK-NRT-IAD on 4/25 which in and of itself would be no big deal but I return to... houseguests. So... :eek:

I'd do Apr 26, May 22, May 25...

Pizzaman Apr 10, 2006 4:40 pm

25th or 26th work for me, at either Tysons Corner or Georgetown. The only benefit to a Georgetown shin-dig is that we have beer and wine there for those who choose to imbibe.

That, and Tysons Corner is a food court, so less "togetherness" and kumbaya singing for us FTers.

Works for me! I personally would prefer the Tyson's location as well....

Hmm.. I bet the chicken is good at Tyson's..

I've had such a fantastic time with the DC HH crowd, I'd give serious thought to forging the traffic to make this. I'll be hitting the BWI rush hour going south on I-95, then the glorified parking lot of the capitol beltway, so "post work hours" might be more later, than earlier, for me.

To the DC traffic experts, coming from Baltimore, is Metro a better option? Just a guess...

I will be in town from May 30th to June 3rd for a seminar in Arlington. I would love to join!

Now, don't get me wrong -- I like all y'all and everything -- but are we seriously planning a booze-free happy hour? Like I said, I like y'all and everything, but I'm not dragging my butt to Tyson's without the comfort of a drink waiting for me. :D

Not to Tysons Corner ... no metro stop there. Unless someone can pick you up at West Falls Chruch stop. :)

Gtown!!
 
Folks, this isn't even close. Beer and wine at Gtown ^ versus NOT :td: .

I'll go to the Gtown DO but won't haul myself through all that traffic to Tysons for less of a party. Sorry all you VA types but...come on. :p

Done! As the Pizzaman suggests - G'Town here we come! :-)

26th (wednesday) everyone?!?!?

Will update the first post after I have a few positive responses.

the booze is one thing but the "food court" comment above is my turnoff for Tysons ... so my vote goes to G'Town, as well.

The 25th looks good for me right now as my preference (sorry gleff), I'm a maybe for the other dates mentioned.

FightingIlliniUAL -- I missed meeting you at an RCC in ORD last year, maybe your trip to DC will work out better.
